wowza! y'all are some good tight huggers!

yep. i went awol. spent the weekend doing TONS of yard work. tree trimming..bushes...replanting. popping motrin like candy.

but saturday night was family time. we watched an AWESOME movie with william hurt called the blue butterfly. it's based on a true story.

and lots of back

good to see ya back Curious

we were having serious yappy monkey withdrawal

now
hopefully the weather will co-operate and keep your yard all spiffy

here's another gentle one for that yard-worked back

Wait Wait for me.....Shelley jumping on top of the hug (like a mosh pit? whatever that is)

butt squeeze for Curious...cuz my butt is still sore from the last one.

Glad you enjoyed some family time.

Welcome back! I know what you mean about overdoing it! As you may know, I am a landscape designer by trade. Well, yesterday, I spent the day onsite with the crew. One guy was a slacker so I felt compelled to pull his weight so the job would get done. BIG MISTAKE. It was 97 degrees, and the humidity was up as well, very unusual for here! I paid for it, and am paying for it. Had to pop a vicodin around midnight just to get my legs to cooperate so I could go to sleep.

But, we go the job done. It was my FIRST Fung Shui design and it turned out very nice. Everything has its place. A color for every spot and it was a difficult job, but we all did good!

And the slacker is looking for a new job!

well cheryl..you know dang well me doing all the redesign on my yard was YOUR fault! hmph...you come here giving me all kinds of inspiration. you should know better than to do that to creative people! next thing ya know..you'll start me off on painting again. then i'll have to add to my doodle thread.

hehe. i will say my yard does look rather nice.

but..on another note.

life dropped a bomb here today. i could use lots of prayers...good thoughts and wishes..blue lights..what ever your preference.

thanks for all the hugs. errrr..butt squeezes.

LOTS of prayers and my own positive affirmations that God WILL take care of you and yours and will get you thru this big storm of Life sure comin' at ya fast, my friend.

I am praying for Him to please open the escape hatch and get you outa all the turmoil and back onto solid ground, doing whatever He knows is best in His plan for your life.

You give so much of yourself Curious...to so many people....we are here always to give that support and love back to you.

I pray that God will open the windows of Heaven and shower down blessings on you in ways that you could never imagine and that you will look back on all this knowing it was a stepping stone to better days.

MUCH love and more
Cheri

Life has a way of doing that. I have been putting up with a lot of dropped bombs lately so I can empathsize.

I hope things work out for you. Lots of hugs for you.

And I don't paint so you are safe!
